LANDROVER HISTORY

The first Land Rover appeared in 1948 – a simple and inventive working vehicle. Brothers Spencer and Maurice Wilks, its creators, developed the iconic vehicle that combined utilitarian simplicity with rugged, dependable quality. The earliest models were designed to be serviced in the field and were manufactured as a range of four-wheel drive vehicles.

From the 1970s onwards, Land Rovers came under increasing competition as manufacturers the world over entered the off-road four-wheel drive arena. It has been owned by various organisations, including British Leyland, British Aerospace and BMW. In 2000, the Land Rover was sold by BMW to Ford but was recently bought by the Indian company, Tata Motors.
